1 Set the camera’s exposure mode to Aperture-
Priority Auto (A) or Manual (M).
2 Set the camera’s metering system to Matrix
Metering Y or Center-Weighted Metering W.
3 Set the SB-800’s flash mode to TTL auto flash.
4 Position the built-in wide-flash adapter over the
flash head. Press the c or d button to adjust
the zoom-head position to 14mm or 17mm.
5 Tilt the flash head down to –7°.
• When the SB-800 is attached to the camera and used
as the only flash unit, this position is recommended to
ensure sufficient illumination of the lower portion of the
subject in close-up photography.
• The dotted line below the underbar appears when the
flash head is tilted down to this position.
6 Confirm that the ready-light is on, then shoot.
• When the flash has fired at its maximum output and
underexposure may have occurred, the ready-light on
the SB-800 blinks for approx. 3 sec. To compensate,
use a wider aperture or move closer to the subject
and reshoot.
